CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

We had this for the NES at our pre-school. The most in demand game for us back then.

When I saw Aaron Aguilera wrestle in PWG I really thought he had something. Injuries derailed him, but I thought he had something that could work on a bigger stage

They’re literally in Major League Baseball! It’s not like a team from the Honkbal Hoofdklasse is in the ALCS

An underrated part of those threads is when you’d get the commercials for Braves games on TBS or the NFL on TNT and you’d give the various stat lines.

My life was going south for a lot of that time but seeing those posts kept me going

It’s wild Bonds is on the cover of this one and then the next year he’s no longer in games

I am not impressed if you compare our current situation to 1984. I am not impressed if you compare our current situation to Brave New World. I will be impressed if you compare our current situation to Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway)

It’s honestly kind of crazy how bad NBA Live was overall as a series

It wasn’t the Game Boy version but I was watching QVC one day as a child and they were selling this game. The host kept pronouncing Razor Ramon as “Razor Raymond”

The second NBA game I ever owned. I was mad at how unrealistic arcade mode was but I never bothered to turn it off.

Hell yeah! When it goes south for Dirk in the movie it goes SOUTH.

I think (in hindsight) Mark was the perfect casting. I know PTA wanted Leo but it wouldn’t feel the same.
